Bell/McCallum, Handbook of Reading Assessment

Comprehensive, readable, and filled with numerous authentic examples, the Handbook of Reading Assessment addresses the continuum of reading assessments from informal, classroom-based to high-stakes formal testing.

Reviewers rave about the Handbook of Reading Assessment:

The Handbook is a powerful resource to help readers carefully consider and select assessments to inform instruction. The authors address the areas of reading identified by the National Reading Panel, discuss various models of reading, and present guidelines for educators whose students may be at the elementary, secondary, or post-secondary levels. In addition, the authors have created an Inclusive Model of Reading that will aid educators in understanding the nature of common reading problems. I would highly recommend this Handbook.

-Cheryl L. Cooke, PhD., Stillwater Area Public Schools

The material is very helpful and inclusive. It helps teachers with recording and interpretation of results.

-Margaret A. Deitrich, PhD., Austin Peay State University

The discussion of intelligence and reading level is on point, relevant, and a strength of this text.

-Bill Clarke, Literacy Coordinator for Blackstone Academy Charter School
